How do you make it light up? Just got it and nothing can't tell if it's the batteries or defective.

There should be a little red switch on the bottom of the truck. You might have to remove the little piece of paper that prevents it from lighting up, it should also be on the bottom. Hope that helps you.

just make sure its charged up. mine came charged. see if it has a color lite when you plug it in and see if it changes when it's charged.

Check and replace the batteries. I had exactly the same problem. I Called the company, their customeer service is great. At there suggestion I found one of my batteries was "defective". Replaced it and all was fine. BE sure the unit is NOT mounted close to a heater vent as warm air from heater can cause unusual activity with the light.

not sure...when you installed the battery was the unit plugged in or not? if it was plugged in, try unplugging it after powering it off, intall battery, then try the power buttonwhat happens next? is it just dead or do you get lights at all even for a moment? mine just worked and was not an issue.....did you dbl check the model numbers? and it fits ok, not wobbly?mine has been working like a champ....no complaints at all!!!!

My light did the same thing. I unscrewed the head with the LEDs from the body where the batteries are. I was checking for lose or burnt pieces. After I put it back together it started working and has worked fine ever since. I believe the lights worst problem is little to no quality control at the manufacturer.

Hi there,Did you tap it gently five times? That usually does it for me. If it still doesn't light up when you do that, it could be the battery, I'd try changing that next. (Be careful to get the clip well inside its little groove before you replace the top), if that doesn't work, I think I'd call customer service. I'd probably call them anyhow, and ask them to send you an additional battery. You should have received two working batteries with a new item.

(On mine) there is nothing that lights up when the button is depressed. There is a small round emitter that sends an infrared (invisible to human eye) beam to the front of the camera when the button is pressed. The camera must be programmed via menu to accept the signal. Since there was no plastic seperator on the one you received, i guess it is possible the battery is discharged.

Mine didn't light up for a bit- until I accidentally clunked someone with it. Oops- looks like your is defective.

The light on top was alternating red/green. I thought it might mean the batteries, but I checked & they are fully charged.Now, I can't get it to work at all, no lights, no pump, nothing...yes, the batteries are installed correctly. Any ideas?

It lites up once u press the button like a flash light, if it doesn't do that then you might want to check the battery/ it's broken :)

All I can suggest is to change the batteries. That happens when they get low. It is suspicious that yours never worked.

We installed the new battery and when we started pedaling the display came on. If you've tried pedaling and it didn't light up, I'd start by checking to see that the voltage at the battery is good and if it is, there may be another problem.

Make sure the "buttons" on the batteries are pointing toward the inside of the sight. I Stacked mine with the buttons pointing up then sat the sight on top of them and slid it to the edge of the table, putting my finger on the edge and flipped the sight over and screwed the switch cap on. This will make sure the batteries didn't flip over when I was putting them in. If that doesn't work, you might have bad batteries or a bad switch. Hope this helps. When you get it working, it's a pretty good sight. Real good in low light, you can see it for a long way off.

I would immediately send it back. It has to be defective. My two batteries work just fine. They take the charge and hold it until you are ready to use them. Sorry to hear you had trouble. These are hi-tech units and I do suppose that they are a little temperamental.

I just checked... It does light up and will work in the dark.Thanks for your great question.
